New WeHo news source

WeHoNews.com promises to be an online newspaper covering West Hollywood as an "independent, fair, balanced and effective local news vehicle." The first issue has features on gay community legends Ivy Bottini and Troy Perry, but editor Ryan Gierach writes that "WeHoNews.com is not a gay paper any more than it is a Jewish paper – and there are far more Jewish than gay people living in WeHo." He is founder of the activist group Movement for Action and Accountability, an author, and wrote for Frontiers and the West Hollywood Tribune. One of the website's plans is to provide camera phones and training to an army of citizen-journalists, he says. To read the stories, you have to give him your email address. Spotted at West L.A. Online, whose founder Jim Bursch assisted on the new site's web design.
